Whenever I talk to new hires, and they set up 1:1s with me or their new manager, one thing becomes very obvious - a lot of people consider 1:1 meetings to be a forum to discuss everything they’ve done in the past week/month/quarter. The group I work on has a convention, by which we post daily status updates on the main team channel - what everyone is working on, what they worked on yesterday, and whether there are any blockers that prevent them from moving forward. 1:1s are your must-do meetings, you single best opportunity to listen, really listen, to the people on your team to make sure you understand their perspective on what’s working and what’s not working.
